Hello everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week has been a mix of hard work, laughter, and sadness in our class as we say goodbye to Jihong, who is leaving us to start a new chapter at his new school in Abu Dhabi. We wish him the very best of luck and know he will do wonderfully in his next adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week in English, students continued their study of Macbeth<\/em>, beginning with Act 1 Scene 5, where they explored Lady Macbeth\u2019s reaction to Macbeth\u2019s letter, focusing on ambition, power, and how Shakespeare uses language to establish her dominance. We then studied Act 1 Scene 7, analysing Macbeth\u2019s doubts about killing King Duncan and the intense power struggle between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, with students developing analytical responses supported by quotations. Lessons also covered the build-up to Duncan\u2019s murder (Act 2 Scene 1), including Macbeth\u2019s dagger soliloquy and his conflicted mental state, followed by the immediate aftermath of the murder (Act 2 Scene 2), where students examined guilt, deception, and how both characters behave once the crime is committed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Science, students continued our unit on Forces, where they investigated how forces affect movement. Through a practical experiment using cars on different surfaces, students explored how friction and pushes change how objects move, slow down and stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week in History, students explored why some people opposed women gaining the right to vote. They analysed common anti-suffrage arguments and grouped them into themes such as traditional gender roles, fear of change, concern for family life, and the desire to keep political power. Through discussion, students considered who benefited from these views and how such arguments acted as barriers that women had to overcome, helping them better understand the challenges faced by the suffrage movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Geography, students learned about internally displaced people (IDPs) and how they differ from refugees. They explored why families may be forced to leave their homes due to conflict, natural disasters, or danger but remain within their own country, and the challenges this creates for children\u2019s safety, education, and access to basic needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
